Make your plans to participate or watch the annual Dick Beardsley Marathon on the second Saturday of September. It begins at the Detroit Lakes Pavillion on Washington Avenue in Detroit Lakes, MN. Slip on your running shoes for the Dick Beardsley Half Marathon, 25k, 10k, 5k, and Youth 1 mile runs. Most races treat you to scenic views of Detroit Lake with cheering fans to keep you moving along. Plus, the LEGENDARY Dick Beardsley comes home every September to welcome runners from around the country to run in this fall classic! When you pick up your race packet Friday evening be sure to join the fun at the Pasta Dinner (see below) and Dick Beardsley's presentation.
